Rabbit introductions?

Alright, my resident rabbit, Natasha, is a spayed female. I took her to the Humane Society and she fell in love with a neutered male rabbit, Nicolai. So, I adopted Nicolai. Now they're both in Natasha's habitat (which isn't a cage) and seem to be getting into some scuffles. Nicolai has a few drops of blood on his ear, but other than that, they seem fine. So, I just have one question. Will this pass? I know that spayed females and neutered males are the most compatible and rabbits are territorial. Will Natasha eventually accept Nicolai? They got along REALLY well at the Humane Society.

Also, is it normal for a neutered male rabbit to hump a spayed female rabbit a lot?

    Hrm. I'm not the rabbit expert, but I have a feeling that it will. It could also be that Natasha feels that her room is being invaded. You said habitat.... so I'm assuming it's much bigger then a normal cage? Even adding just another foot of room is all it takes to spike compatibility.

    I would think so. It could be dominance humping *they don't actually hump, but press themselves down onto the other.*, or just the female smell. Either way, there aren't any worries :3 No babies from them.
